Podcaster Jennifer Welch Urges Continued 'Pistols Firing' Opposition to VP JD Vance; Critics Respond

Podcaster Jennifer Welch, in a recent segment of her show I've Had It, urged listeners to keep metaphorical pistols firing at Vice President JD Vance and to defeat him in 2028, drawing criticism on social media Tuesday. Welch said Vance is unfit to be a father, husband or vice president. She criticized his marriage to Usha Vance, their four children and his ties to billionaire donor Peter Thiel, called him a white nationalist, and said he expects to be president in two years. Spencer Pratt, a former Los Angeles mayoral candidate, posted on X that she was demanding violence against Vance and said the country has a communist violence problem.

Left-leaning outlets had not reported this story at the time of writing, while alternative and right-leaning outlets had. Fox News calls Welch a far-left podcaster and former Bravo star, and says she appeared to speak metaphorically about defeating Vance at the ballot box. Breitbart's John Nolte reads the remarks as a call for Vance's murder, says the Secret Service should take notice, and stresses her interviews with Democrats. ZeroHedge leads with her remarks and Pratt's response, noting her large following.
